1. Luxemburger Hüft- und Kniesportgruppe

What is the Luxemburger Hüft- und Kniesportgruppe?

A first group of physical activities for people with history of hip replacement was founded in 2006 by the Société pour la Recherche en Orthopédie et Médecine du Sport (SLROMS). A second group for people with knee replacement was created in 2008. The Luxemburger Hüft- und Kniesportgruppe informs the general public and patients about the interest of physical activity after hip or knee replacement or with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Physical activity sessions are offered.
